Located by the side of Jait Sagar lake this palace was built by Raja Vishnu Singh ( 1773 – 1821 .A.D ) . This was constructed under the supervision of his Diwan and architect Sukhram in 1776 A.D. and therefore named as Sukha Mahal.
There is a hall on ground floor and dome shaped two rooms on its upper storey. The hall was basically a summer house. A rectangular chhatri constructed on the roof is noteworthy. The palace offers a delightful view for natural lovers.
Rudyard Kipling stayed here for two days and wrote about Bundi’s incomparable heritage and marvellous natural beauty. So it is popular as Kipling Palace among overseas tourists. The palace was constructed in Rajput style of architecture in 17-18th century AD
